"The Most Hated Man In America" Purchases 2 Million Dollar Wu-Tang Album




Pharmaceutical exec Martin Shkreli now owns a piece of history. He is touted as "The Most Hated Man in America" after price gouging the anti-parasitic drug Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill. 

According to Bloomberg the pharma bad boy has purchased the single copy album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaloin" for an estimated $2 million dollars. The album was auctioned off via Paddle8 where Shkreli also purchased one of Kurt Cobain's first credit cards. 



RZA responded to Bloomberg regarding the purchase of the album by Shkreli . “The sale of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was agreed upon in May, well before Martin Skhreli’s [sic] business practices came to light. We decided to give a significant portion of the proceeds to charity.”

According to reports Shkreli has not even listened to the album.
